It does not come as a surprise. The left aims to revolutionize, to rebuild society on new bases, to better share resources and duties. Young people love those ideas, because they are entering adulthood, the workforce, the world of ideas, and they have so little in store and so little to lose and so much to gain from a revolution. But when they age, they climb up the social ladder little by little and they end up living a bourgeois life in a middle class suburb with their wife and kids, and they now dread a social upheaval that could jeopardize all that they earned by their hard work and sacrifices. So as people grow up, they move to the right. In addition, leftist idéologues like talking to the heart, but as people mature, they start to know human nature better, to get a more clear-sighted and cynical view of politics and economics, and they no longer buy utopic dreams like they did back in college.
